“We began the year with our strongest-ever quarterly net income”, stated CEO Carlo Messina, as Intesa Sanpaolo reported €2.6 billion in Q1 net income and a 20% annualised return on equity (ROE).
Looking ahead, Messina noted that “we expect net income well above €9 billion for 2025, driven by the Bank’s strong potential for organic growth”.
These results “reinforce Intesa Sanpaolo’s standing among Europe’s major banks”, Messina underlined, adding that “the strength of our results… enable us to play a unique role in supporting both the real economy and social inclusion”.
Messina highlighted Intesa Sanpaolo’s “unique business model in Europe”, built on leadership across services, Wealth Management, Protection & Advisory, efficient international operations, and technology.
He underlined that innovation is a key pillar of this model: “We have already invested €4.4 billion in cutting-edge technology and hired around 2,350 IT specialists, positioning the Bank among Europe’s leaders in digital transformation”.
The CEO also emphasised the role played by the Bank’s people, thanking them personally and calling their contribution “a decisive factor in generating strong, sustainable results”.
